Need opinions on wheels

[RJS]

I am considering these 15x6 rims. They are not my first choice, but the price is right. In the end if I decide I want different rims, I will not have wasted too much money. I photo shopped them onto my car to see how they look, and they actually look better than I expected.

Even though they are not my fist choice, I think they are a great improvement over the gold alloys on the car now.

What do you think. Are they "nice", "ok", or "don't waste you time"?

They are Enkie 38mm offset and I plan on using wheel adaptors like were used on this post. http://www.forum.triumphtr7.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4124





Thanks,
Rob

I would say OK.

To me they don't have the "wow" factor but I cannot say that I dislike them either! If the price is right then it's a good way to get 15" rims on the car.

Thanks for the opinions.

I just bought them for $60 plus shipping (yes they are used, but in good shape). Now I need to buy the adaptors and tires.

Not only am I cheap, I even brag about how cheap I am (or maybe how cheap my wife keeps me).

There will be a post in the future about how big of a tire I can put on without any rubbing.

If it helps your continued "cheapdom", make me an offer to buy your old wheels to offset the cost - but, I'm cheap,too.

I like them too. Never much cared for the puny 13 inchers. Check around, you may be able to have them chrome plated, that would really make your car stand-out!

I like them. Many modern designs don't quite look right on a 70's car. These do. And they're different. Thumbs up.
